Local builders certainly hit the mark with this high-end three-bedroom house in Hamlyn Heights, finding buyers after just 20 days on the market.
A high-end three-bedroom house tailored for a subdivision in Hamlyn Heights has found a buyer after just 20 days on the market.
The weatherboard residence at 2/19 Langibanool Ave sold for $837,500 after the short campaign.
The house was designed and built by Eccles Homes, after the owners purchased the original property at 19 Langibanool Ave and mapped out the two-home project.

Gartland, Geelong agent Michael Tricarico said the house at the rear of the property was tailored for the market, with its high spec list of features attracting strong interest from people seeking to downsize.
“There was a lot of interest from downsizers. We had local downsizers, Melbourne downsizers and even interstate downsizers looking at it.
“It’s perfect. A nice, low maintenance, high spec home for that downsizer market and the ideal candidates were in that demographic.
“They loved the design, the layout, the natural light and the fact they didn’t have to sacrifice on anything.
“You still get the two-car garage, three large bedrooms.
“They put skylights throughout the house and upgraded the heating and cooling as well so despite being on the south side of the street, it’s a really light and bright home that’s really appealing in terms of colour palette.”
The new home epitomises both luxury and low-maintenance living with the main bedroom suite offering a peaceful haven at the front and two additional bedrooms tucked away in a separate wing.
The spacious layout is evident within the open-plan living, dining and kitchen zone within the heart of the home.
It flows out through glass stacker doors to a deck, creating an indoor-outdoor entertainment flow.
The Hamptons-style kitchen features stone benchtops, a built-in pantry, and an impressive island bench and breakfast bar, along with a double oven, induction cooktop, rangehood and double-drawer dishwasher.
The decision to go high end was a rare decision in Hamlyn Heights, which is a suburb where most multi-dwelling developments are tailored to more price sensitive investors.
“This definitely catered for the owner occupier market.
“There’s a lot more owner occupiers moving into that area, somewhere where it’s still close to Geelong, so close to the ring road and good schooling options for families.”
The median house price is $737,500, according to PropTrack data.
